Re: Licencing issues

fabrice :

That's right IE could be unhappy with that. The fact is that IE team people knows about IETester and they didn't complain yet.

IETester is intended to help web developers work faster. MS could decide to stop it. They didn't do it so far....

Thanks for the reply,

That's great that the IE team won't take any action, but unfortunately it doesn't carry any legal weight. FAST will still consider it to be pirated software, any developer caught with pirated software on their machine has transgressed my company's computer use policy and could be dismissed as a result.

Not good.

The ultimate penalty for use of unlicensed software is that the CTO/CIO could face gaol time. That means we have to take it pretty seriously. Every application on any machine in my company must have a licence.

It's a pity, because the devs on my team have found this app useful, but I'm going to have to tell all of them to uninstall it and delete any trace of it from their work machines.
